the TCS switch located at
the front of the console.
The light on the switch will go off, and the traction
control system warning light in
the
cluster will come on
and stay on. If the traction control system is limiting
wheel spin when you press the switch, the light on the
switch will
go
o f f and the warning light will come on
--
but the system won't turn off right away. It will wait
until there's no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing

Braking in Emergencies
With anti-lock,

than even the very best braking.

Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It's important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the "driver lost control" accidents mentioned on
the news happen on curves. Here's why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to
the same laws of physics when driving
on
curves. The
traction
of
the
tires against the road surface makes
it
possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn
the front wheels. If there's no traction, inertia will keep
the vehicle going in the same direction. If you've ever
tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you'll understand this.
